Robert,
Can you tell my sister Donna and I where you found the number of the plane? Neither the D Day Dottie or the plane they were shot down in had art work and we have never heard of a name for the plane they were shot down in, so it could be the right one. We appreciate your help.
Jackie

I am also trying to find out if the B-17 with the serial number 44-6129 had a name. Anyone's information is greatly appreciated.

Have not been able to find any indications of a name attached to this B-17. My two main sources do not have a nickname for it, and at reunions where I talked to a lot of veterans trying to correct information in group reference books, no one seemed to know one.

Hi Donna,
I have just come across some paperwork on the B-17 serial number 44-6129 squadron codes IN-A
There is no mention of the a/c having a name but it was MIA on the 19th July 1944 on a mission to Augsburg. Pilot. 2nd/Lt. William J. McKeon.
Hope this is of interest. Robert.
